“My Pharaoh Lady” brings back Pharaoh Yosira (Kari Wahlgren) who needs to oversee delicate talks attempting to bring to separate alien races into the fight against Octavian. But when in intelligence suggests someone at the summit is already working for Octavian, Cleopatra (Lilimar) takes her place going in undercover as Yosira in hopes of discovering the traitor before it’s too late. There’s some fun Cleo in over-her-head moments here, and Yosira rubbing off on the the impulsive time-traveler. The unexpected piece of the episode involves Cleo rubbing off on the Pharaoh as Yosira discovers she quite likes Cleo’s more adventures lifestyle.

American Underdog

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: American Underdog
  • IMDb: link

Adapted from Kurt Warner‘s autobiography, American Underdog follows the unlikely journey of small-time college quarterback Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi) from college, to being completely out of football stocking shelves at a Hy-Vee, and ultimately to the NFL. Much of the film focuses on Warner’s personal life, his relationship with Brenda Meoni (Anna Paquin) and her children, and his struggles in finding life after football.

The film from directors Andrew Erwin and Jon Erwin is attempting to cash-in on a tale similar to Invincible and The Rookie. However, both of those films were produced by Disney who has a better feel for the genre. While it may not measure up to either of those two films, American Underdog is still an interesting look at the lesser-known aspects of Warner’s life although it skirts over his professional relationships in the NFL with everyone except his coaches.

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #5

/ / Comics

Three more tales of Red Sonja are captured here by various writers and artists. Each story from Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #5 has a common theme of Sonja being either the hunter or the hunted.

My favorite of the three tales, in “The Hunted” Baron Raaf has hired an assortment of mercenaries to hunt Red Sonja but the She-Devil with a Sword dispatches them one by one before going after the man who sent them.

Red Sonja hunts a witch and fights werewolves on the side of a mountain in “The Chill Touch of Sorcery!” And Sonja meets a new challenger in the brash “Erik the Black: He-Demon with an Axe” who walks into a tavern boasting of his greatness to Sonja but never walks out.

The Amazing Spider-Man #81

/ / Comics

Despite what the cover suggests, this isn’t a Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man comic although it does feature the first meeting of Ben Reilly and Miles Morales (at least with both of them wearing Spidey costumes) who the Beyond Corporation wants their corporate hero’s help in stopping him from using the name Spider-Man.

The bad guy of the issue (if you don’t count the evil corporate types of Beyond while foreshadowing the inevitable turn of Maxine Danger as a super-villain) is the utterly forgettable Rhizome who the two Spider-Men team-up to stop. Seriously? It took two of them to stop what looks like a drunken mistake by Poison Ivy? Anywho, Maxine isn’t pleased with Ben for not pushing the copyright issue with the other Spider-Man, although she may have other more pressing concerns involving Doctor Octopus.

Hit-Monkey – The Code

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Hit-Monkey – The Code
  • wiki: link

Things get a little crazy in “The Code,” and that’s say something for a show that was already about a murderous monkey in a suit haunted by the ghost of an assassin. The weakest of the episodes so far, but still a wacky ride (that may or may not require a tetanus shot after you finish), it certainly provides no end of violence as Hit-Monkey and his ghost travel down into the bowels of Sugano prison where even the guards don’t go, in search of the Accountant who has been running a bizarre world. The episode is notable for the monkey giving in to violence more and more and taking down Fat Cobra in the Accountant’s underground Fight Club.
